1.3.3 Procedure for using the user-reply functionality
The user-reply functionality enables the following operations to be performed from job definition scripts:
Notifying the operator of batch job information
Enabling the operator to reply to job definition scripts
Linked with JP1/IM, the user-reply functionality issues specified character strings as JP1 events. The following figure shows the procedure for using the user-reply functionality.
To use the user-reply functionality:
If a command in which a character string is specified is executed by means of a job definition script, the specified character string is issued as a JP1 event.
The issued JP1 event is transferred by JP1/Base to a specified operation management server.
The specified character string is displayed in the JP1/IM - View window.
If it's a reply-waiting event, the operator can enter a reply.
The reply entered from the operator is stored in a shell variable specified in the job definition script.
